In learning English, one should first pay attention to（注意）listening and speaking. It is the groundwork of reading and writing. You’d better try your best to speak while you do much listening. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Be careful not to let them stop you from improving your English. While you are doing this, a good way is to write—keep a diary, write notes or letters; then if you can, ask some people to go through what you have written and tell you what you’ve done wrong.

Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. This is an old English saying. It means that we must go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. If we do, we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich and clever.
Is this true? Perhaps it is. The body must have enough sleep. Children of your age need ten hours' sleep every night. If you do not go to bed early, you can not have enough sleep. Then you can not think properly and you can not do your work properly. You will not be wise and you may not become wealthy!
Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning. This is not good for them. We should sleep at night when it is dark. The dark helps us to sleep well. When the daylight comes, we should get up. This is the time for exercise. If the body is not used, it will become weak. Exercise keeps it strong.
Exercise helps the blood to move around inside the body. This is very important. Blood takes nutrition (营养) to all parts of our bodies. The brains in our heads also need blood. We think with our brains. If we keep our bodies healthy, and take exercise, we can think better!
Our bodies also need air to breathe. Without air we will die. Get up

We can’t remember clearly since when we started to take our mobiles to a dinner table. This happens a lot, especially when we eat out. Once a dish comes, instead of lifting our chopsticks, we take out our mobiles and
第5页/共19页
click. Later, we post photos onto Weibo or Wechat, waiting to be “liked”. Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal, to see whether we get “liked” or not. We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal.
Does that sound familiar to you? Do you do that often? If not, how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you?
A recent study suggests that what we are used to doing is not good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant(令人愉快的). To test this, some researchers did an experiment (实验). Some people were asked to take before they could enjoy food. As a result, it showed that the more photos they took, . So, why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you?
Besides the scientific result, there are also some other bad influences (影响) of taking photos of food before meals. After posting the photos onto the Internet, one will not be able to control himself and check his mobile many times. “Does everyone like my photos? I hope a lot of people like them!” It seems that your mobile secretly calls your name all the time, even when you are with real people.

A man sees a butterfly. The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis(蛹)．Feeling sorry for it，the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough，the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn't struggle(奋斗) to leave the chrysalis，it can't fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly，the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make them fly.
When people are young，meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we look at successful people，we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman，who now owns many big

supermarkets，used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father's death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.
Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges，like rock-climbing，camping，volunteer work and so on. However，just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful，it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.

“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meaning.
“Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool.” You may think, “He’s so cool,” when you see your favourite footballer. We all maximize（扩大）the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to

write about the waterfall（瀑布）they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time. In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you
第17页/共19页
have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的)door. When it close, it also opens.
